27 September 2025

• curprev 00:1900:19, 27 September 2025 Butwhatdoiknow talk contribs 53,175 bytes +49 The word "anchors" does not appear in the "Section linking (anchors)" subsection, so I'm moving from the Anchors section to the Wikilinks section and taking "anchors" out of the title

25 September 2025

• curprev 14:2914:29, 25 September 2025 Butwhatdoiknow talk contribs 53,126 bytes −10 →Duplicate section names: the phrase "destination page" is only used in this section, change to "target page" as used throughout the rest of the article

• curprev 22:0822:08, 23 September 2025 Butwhatdoiknow talk contribs 53,146 bytes −410 →What is an "anchor"?: Re-write. I think I preserved all of the original information.
• curprev 08:1208:12, 23 September 2025 CapnZapp talk contribs 53,556 bytes −29 →Section linking (anchors): arguably the link already looks ugly even if only these five characters are encoded
• curprev 08:1108:11, 23 September 2025 CapnZapp talk contribs 53,585 bytes +104 →Section linking (anchors): rephrasing - making this a "hint" helps make it clear this is not mandatory, only a suggestion if you don't want to encode the link yourself.

• curprev 19:5919:59, 11 September 2025 Danbloch talk contribs 53,523 bytes −60 Undid revision 1310774869 by Butwhatdoiknow (talk); {{Anchor}} is already mentioned in this section Tag: Undo

9 August 2025

• curprev 16:2016:20, 9 August 2025 CapnZapp talk contribs 53,523 bytes +3 →What is an "anchor"?: while specifying a "location on the page" (a hash and id) is indeed optional, in this context we're not discussing the HTML specification; we're defining what an anchor link is, and it isn't an anchor link if the anchor is omitted... (If you can rephrase to convey that you don't *need* to supply an anchor without claiming it is an anchor link even without it, go ahead...!)

• curprev 03:4603:46, 8 August 2025 Danbloch talk contribs 53,037 bytes −637 →What is an "anchor"?: clean up / shorten. Mostly this is just copyediting. One change that isn't is the removal of a usage recommendation for {{anchor}}, which is off topic for this section. It could be added to another section, or maybe as an {{efn}} here.
